This is a picnic spot with an eco-friendly twist. The beach originated from the large 100-hectare park that was redeveloped jointly by the Tourism and Forest Departments and Kasarkod Village Forest Committee. The motive behind this beach is to promote eco-tourism around Karnataka and bring in tourists to the area. The park is apt for a family with kids, wherein children can have fun at the jungle gym, swing, plinth stones and even a trampoline that is installed in the park. One can find refreshments, eating joints and even clean washrooms. On select days, there are also boat rides that take you into the sea and step into the shoes of fishermen. To enter the park, one has to pay a nominal fee of INR 10 per adult and INR 5 per child.
